About this work

The top of Lysaya Mountain near Selyavnoye-Vtoroye village, Liskinsky District, Voronezh region, Russia. The grave of Cholponbai Tuleberdiev, a young Kyrgyz soldier who was named 'Hero of the Soviet Union' for acts of courage during WW2, dying in August 1942 after covering the enemy’s machine-gun embrasure with his body, ensuring the capture of a strategic bridgehead for the Soviet sixth army.
